In one hour I was landed at , or very nrar Ecdes , ¦ whtxe I spent the evening with my friends , Dc and Mis CrBnen , who prepared for me a small stock of

      xtedicines for my voyage . Ntxt morning breakfasted , when , after bidding Mrs . O'Biien adieu , Mr , OB ., with his rsro toys , accompanied ma to the station , and by twelre o'clock , 1 ¦* as in Liverpool . I immediately proceeded to transicl some } aainess , after finishing which 1 talied at all the tfflees of the shipping agents , in order to ascertain wfcat ships -were-bound for K « w Tort , with their timts of sailing , Ai At the ( ffiee o ! Hit . Boche . I was inionsed thai a ship would sail in a few days for Boston ; that she was a very snperior vessel , and wunld tafce no more than thirty passengers ; and that they would take a very low fare .

      INe 3 rt morning , 1 siw and consult ed my fric-nds . John Hohssn and Cnarlss Earnshaw , who had arrangta to accompany me . They approved of my proposition to go by the s ^ id ship ; so we paid , and , of course , arlanced . 1 met the Capiain at Mr . Roche's , who said he calcnlated npon & thirty-five days" passage . Mr . Roche had Boms little inowl&djje cf m =. ironi the csicwnstarjce of my having sent Mrs . Bradiey to If 6 w Yuri , by the ship Cambridge , under his asency , after the return of hpr . money from another cffice , who had grossly nse . i her . 3 ir- Boebe -was very polite , ami told us his t \ ra cnrpenier was going out with us , and that everythiEE that eotiid would be done for our comfort . He also cffered to furnish me with letters of in ' -rodnctiGU to his frienda on the other aide .

      WeweretohaveEaSed at cne o ' clock on Tuesday , instead cf "srlllcJj "we -went out twe ^ Te hours csriier . This caused greatincoarcniciice , aBC ^ prevented us froni supplying ourselves "aith several ntcsssary articles "which we had intended to provide . We had a Bteam ta ? to take us cut ; tie morning "was fee , the sea tras smooth , and sil propitioiis . I have menteonea ti * at 1 mci the Captain at Mr . Koche ' s ; and I also passed some civilities -with him on the qnsy , on the morning of the uay we sailed , \ cbich "Were htartUy respoudw ; to , and we arrived on board the V £ se 3 the . same jDomesS , bnt at epposile ends id the

      Tessti He passed me in haste , and cilled the S : eward in a burned and commanding tone ; and was promptly answered . Us next asked , in the same mann . r , -whether he ( tae Steward ) hod any money for him ? aad was answered in theidnTnmrve ; ** Then , " ssid he . " let me have it . " I nisntion this to show how tedden was the change disced by Btepping from the quay to the ship . On score he was all poiiteness ; but he left his politeness and civiiisy en ahure . On entering npon whst he seemed to consider his kingdom , he instantly assumed the airs of a tyrant , acd the Ftqnel will shoir hi kept > Kptti np dnrina the trhole voyasr .

      When day l > £ gnn to dawn , the jnssengErs were all compared wish Mr . Byche ' s b ^ u k . and a dollar ,, for what is called " hospital musey , " was eemand ^ d from each passenger of whatever age . This mon < -y is -applied for the . support of aa hospital oa Station Islacd , near the qEarantine station , wbtw 2 k persons who . may be set , on lnsdiag , ara placed and ttkea care of till they recover .

Sores TcSised Xo p ^ y the dollar , hot were obliged to comply or b * sent onshore . -

      ThB passage tickets were then collected ; that is , the receipts for the maney paid for the passage . JThis practice is ^ ecsdedij wrong . The passenger ought to retain his receipt , and that cnght to act forth the terms ¦ upon -Kbicb iiia -passage "was engaged , so that If sot acted upon , i « micht , at the port where be Iina 3 , "hrm ?

      A regulai search was made throughjrt the ship for persona who skulk on beard and hide themselves for the purpose of going free ; one man was socn turned out from axiongst a lot of salt Vaga , and w ^ s sent on shore -withxhe t'erta trite fcad overtanJed lie pa ^ sen-SQ 3 . Two female relations of sods psf-= engers who had leave to 50 ent and Kicra by the Et-titmer , "were ordEied ashore by the boat also ; the cagtain would allow them to go no further . The cay remained fine , Jbe evening feresa , bnt during tbe siclit It became raXsts ! Tough , and nfrny paisengsTB were siek .

      13 th—^ The bre ^ zB coitinusd to fre ? h daring th »; day ; towards evening tbe second mate went bc-iow and assisted to lash the boxes and other luggage . VTe now had fixed an open , exposed , iron fire , grata , -which * wa » placed on deck , near the bowB , where , if at aU lough , the breakers came over ; and this . grate , exposed to the indeaency of the weatna , was all that fctaalss sod others , unaccustomed to tbe sea , ana very cften sick and unfit to stand , were allowed for cooking purposes ; wkile the ship ' s eaok had a house on SeeSi , with proper covering , and enclosed , wi h patent Apparatus £ xed , and seats where he sight Eit and " do fcis ¦ work comfortably ; Init for poor emigonts , it seemed as if anything was good enough for them after their mone ? Traspaid .

      16 ai . —The sailors this day began to erect a wooden lxji on the deck ; it was made of cough boards , with open joists between them ; one sifle waa open for about eighteen inches * rom the bottom ; tbe other side some six inchea . The half of a small barrel , was put in at the ^ open lile , and placed npon four feet ; and there it was , without any other fastening than a small cord tied from the two back feet to the beam that lay alongside of the long boat , and which left it to hang backward and forward , as the position or the ship might be . This erection was lor the convenience of all the passengers on hoard , both male and female . It could * ot T » justly styled a privy SS it stood in tha most public situation , * nd it -was -with the greatest difficulty any adnlt could enter from the insufficiency of height and width ; they were , besides , exposed to the view of all 1 When in , I supposed tbis to fee a specimen of the Yankee Captain ' s deference to female delicacy .

      The-es « ction belDg completed , the passengers were told that unless they emptied the said half-barrel every jaoming , their allowance of water would be stopped ; and if thit whs not effective they would heave the whole overboard , and they might find a place for themselves . This , then , was the alternative . The stench was intolerable from the open . state of the fcsrrel-reeepticle , the loose state of the bed and the heaving of the ahip . Means ought to have been provided to carry off the soil into the sea ; but I found that passengers , Ignorant of ship yulea , are necessimed to submit to all B # rU of impositions and inconveniences . The Captain was now become so very insolent that an answer could not be got to any question a passenger might put to Mm , and some of his understrappers followed the example of the master ; and would even threaten the passengers with consequences if they did not submit to orders .

      WxdxesdaI HOBJ .-IXG- —The -wind fcletr vary strong last night , and continues so this morning , right a-head ; and when we arose we found ourselves blown hack a coasiderabli distance ; in fact nearly driven back to Liverpool . The Siddons , which lsft Liverpool the fide after ns , neared ua about two pan ., and -paw&l ns . The Aihrns , -srhich left £ ha same time as the Siddens "Was astern . In the evening it became calm . Went xo fced in good time . Had a quiet sleep till six on Thursday aiomine—got up at seven . Found ourselves still hovering off the coast of Wales .

      if he hai the Captain in the streets of Boston be would take satisfaction ; and that if be could do no way else , he would run his knife into him on board . He and others , advised th » passengers who felt themselves a ^ -gnevea to try to puniBh him . : FBXB 1 . V —Got up at seven after % restless night , my leg bting painful ; the night had been calm , the water smooth , all was very still on board , which rather surprired me . there bsingso many children with ns . After Trashing and dressing my leg , I went above ; the Irish coast in full view . The sailors were busy—tbe Captain a dnmb dog , being mortified at not being able to learn the point *? e were off , not even a single , place . The SuxvL ' on was now abv-ut a mile a-head . I heard another murmur against the Captain , who showed his large teeth like a mastiff about to ssijw a cur dog . Tbe wind was favourable , bnt the bretgj too -wesk to give us speed . The sailors are a set of most willing active fellows ; there is nothing left undone that can b& done

      to set as on . This morning a discovery was made of a yonng Irishman who had stowed himst-lf away in tbe lswer regions of the ship , among the ceals . and had been hid during the wboIs time , bBt not without tbe knowledge of some tg the passengers . When the Captain was apprised of this , he took a rope ' s end and punished hiia severely wiih it . We had another Captain on board , one who had lost his ship , Bhe having been on fire several days , while at sea . She was laden with cjiton . Tha abip was got into F&yal , one of tbe

      Western Islands , where she wa 3 scnttled . Bunk , and raised again 1 then condemned and sold . This wretch , to my surprise , fsunil fan ? t with his brother Captain , for dealing so leniently wivb . Mr . &totv . a -wat , declaring that he had once punishrd a man under similar circumstances till he jumped overboard and was drowned . Perhaps he desired that the tragedy should be repeated . The Captain -went and examined the hatchway by which the culprit had asrended ; and fearing any more should pass that way , ordered it to be securely fastened dow . Tne man was ordered to go and -work with tbe sailors .

      Tbis day we w « e in all but a dead calm . We saw some beautiful fish , acd the porpoises were rolling around ns in shoils . We -were still in sight of the Irish coast , Cape Clear , to ; many vessels were moving at a snail ' s pace ; several were steamers which went at a most enviable rate of speed . Considering that an hammock wenld be better for me to Bleep in than my flooT-bed , one of tbe B . iiloro very kindly lent me oof ; another fix- ^ d it for ma , and the first mate adjusted and put it in proper condition . I slept a few rjiehts pretcy comfortably ; but with my lame le * it was very awkward to get in and out again ; so 3 abaDooned rt . and . airsin took my old quarters .

      Saix ki > aT . 18 Lh—This morning btinrf fine I was reading aloud oa the deck , ihe captain was gruntiDg out " Steward , Ste-ward , * ' ar ; d then , ia an unrier-growl , called oat , " Q-st away with your reading ; this is not a placs for reading . "' My au-aitore . in Bibmission , went off 3 felt a strong desire " to shew tbe fellow up " but considered it best to gire him rope ei ; oi )? h . Slill he seemed dissatisfied , as if he considered the passengers a nuisance . They apparently stunk ia his nostrils , though he was the uglitst fellow in the ship . Tliis day ire had a dead calm . From appearances , howem . a bieizs was txpecled , and all our bfxts wpre ordered to be lashed fail to prevcat destruction . We soon felt the fresh bretze ; it increased as tb « evening came on . ar . d we got to led .

      SC ? vJ > aT , 19 th . —We had a quieter nizht than I anticipated . Got up at ss ^ en—tfcere was now much sicknrca and a censiderabip no : sp ; the brckfatt was thtrtfore cot very comfortable . We had some Chartist breakfsit powder , which we erj > ytd more than coffee or tea . I laid down and slri > t three bonrs . then went on deck , wbich I found to be more comfortable than below . The first mat * Informed me that we were still off Cape Clear , bnt dow we wemed to have a fair chance of leaving all land . I had calculated on our being a few hundred miles off before this . The wind was not fair , and ie expressed a fear that -we should bave a

      tfdiona voyage , but added , it is only guessing ; " for the last voyage had a bad beginning , but it eventually turned out wtlL We had two ships in sight ; one was said to he the Siranto * which had enlivened us with tbeir music off Carnarvon Bay . There was some dispute on that tnbjt-ct , and s-he did not near us sufficiently to enable us to icrove it . The st cond mate cheered me by anticipating a fair wind . 1 learned that we bad notyei doubled Cape Cl ^ r and I br- ? un t « feel a strong desire for wind or steam , or some nv-ans by -which -we could be prop-. Jk-d . 1 ltsrnetl that wo had not gained on our course twenty miles during the whole day .

      3 lO >\ D . * y , SClh . —Before I got up , it was announced that Cape Clear was again in sight- 1 waa sickened at the thought ; went on deck , and found it so . as well as a long stretch of Jrish mountains . A cumber of porpoises were rolling like bogs within a-few jards of the ship . Two vtsstjls still in sight . The second mate informed me he had odcb been t went/—rise days beating about in the ehanEil , and that during -the time two children had died . Thi 3 mau finding that I intended travelling into ttre-Far West , became very polite , and after reading hiaa socie letters , 4 c , he stitmedanxious to have conversation . He expressed a determination to Jea-re the sea and go-and settle in the Wwt countrywished me to stay a day or two in Boston after landing and have some conversation with his wife , who was opposed to going to the West ; but h « thought 1 could persuade her . I spread . The passengers seemed al . very desirous to have a meeting aft . tr landing for the purpose of consulting tegt-ther , and aiding -cash other as mccb as possible .

      A rattling brp'zs sot -ap tbis evening , and after warding two ships which the tailors said were ladea with cotton , on their way io L : Vcrpool , made -my way to bed is well as I could . TUS 32 at , 21 st—W « have hsd a bointerooa n ^ ht . My hamiuoct has bad a moticm as constant as the . pendulum < & % does ; still 1 slept considerably . Tbe wind blew fros : the north-west , the ^ sbip heaved in P"f BtyJe , and a gscsral scene of sickness met the eye . Anything lifcv . % decent breakfast was quits out of tbe question . 6 p-m- — : Ehe ¦ wind continue * -to blow from N .

      Wednesday 22 nd . —What toe sailors called a breeze wind . The ship hove sHrprisingly , and few of tbe passengers « ould in any way bsip themselves . To ftand on deck was all but impossible , and many of the pasengers deploringly lamented they had ever come oa board . SevertJ vessels hove in sight , driving swiftly before the storm , . against which it » as our fate to cos tend . T 3 TJBSDA 7 23 rd . —During the niRht , the wind has bees favourable for a few honrs ; but the sea ran so high that we made bnt little progress . Tbe day is similar to yesterday—the waves rolling majestically . We , however , male bat little way .

      Fbi » at 24 th- —The sea still Toajtb . The water rolling in at the stern windows , wetted some of the beds , and also damaged some of our goods . We were therefore , compelled to close the windows . Tbis was a great inconvenience , as it not only prevented a free current of air but enveloped us in total darkness at a time too when we could not betake ourttlves te the deck . No food could be cooked in consequence of the eonf usion . Saturdat , 25 th . —Tbe wind abated considerably during the night . The se 3 was however still so unsettled that tne abip was more tossed about than formerly . The wind still against us . scsdat , 2 Cth—All but a dead calm . The passengers got on deck » nd were ranch refreshed after the wtek ' B kickiDg , tossing , and shaking .

      Moxdat , 27 th— During tbe night the wind blswfrom the north-east , ( fair . ) and for thu first time we were on eur course at . seven knotB an hour . We have progressed at the S 3 m ^ rate all the day ; an d yet the second mate o 9 ers to bst two sovereigns to one that at tbe ratu we are now going we might return into the dock at Liverpool in four d 3 ya . Rather discouraging this , for all the tossing we h ; va had . Tuesday 28 th . —Nearly a dead calm tha whole day . A saa directly a-hea-1 , which , at dusk , we lost sight of . Websesdat 29 th . —Daring th . 5 night a good and favourable braza arose , whieh continued all the day , and chi-cred ns up . Still the second mate insisted that we " were within a few days sail of Liverpool , and this was stated as an excuse for putting the passengers on short allowar . ee of water , while the sailors a ^ d the captain took ja 3 t what they plcza .-d . I threatened to stop them ; for as we bad engaged to have a gallon a day we bad a right to it , as long as it listed ; and if any were to be put on EhorS allowance , sil on feoard should have been

      placed on the same footing . THtRsDAT , 30 th—Tteruefal Captain again appeared after several days absene = from dt-ck . His first act was to order the fore hatches to be fastened down . He swore they ha ^ been kvpt open for the purpose of stowing away seme cf the sailors . I discovered that a young female passenger had no bed ; and her companion had turned her out of the berth ske bad till bow occupied . She had been compelled to sleep tor three nights upon the boxes . I appealed to She sailors , one of whom very soon went into the forecastle , and returned with abed . We got her some bed clothes and replaced her in her berth . Her provisions were nearly exhaust **!; but we contrived to provide her against want Fbidat , JULY 1 st—The night has been nearly a calm and it has been so all day . A slight bretza got up towards evening , bat it was unfavourable .

      This afternoon , oar . kind and excellent black cook had a fit , in his box , and" fell down by thB fire . His hand was most dreadfully burnt . All the passengers were extremely sorry at the occurrence ; for he bad

      REPEAL OF THE UNION . A public meeting in f urtberance of the above cause was holden on Sunday evening last , at the Fountain and SSill , Oolden-lane , Dublin , at eight o'clock . Mr Qsorga Kennedy was called to the chair , who , aftsr the usual preliminary business of the meeting had been gone through , said ha bad great pleasure in introducing to the meeting one whom he had known in his native land to be a zoalou 3 and devoted advocate of their cause ; one whose writings had raised a spirit of I enthusiasm in the breast of every Repealer of Dublin , ' one of whose articles had been reprinted in letters of I G Ad . and which would remain as imperishable in the

      the memory of Repealers as the cliffs of Dunleary . He ( the Chairman ) had often wished he bad been more fn quently amongst them ; but having fallen into the rrrors of Foargus O'Connor , he trusted he bad bad sufficient time to repent of them , aud that we may once more have the benefit of bis exertions in our cause . He trusted that be would to-night recant of those errors , and he was sure there was no man in that room hut would be proud to see him an enrolled associate . He would say not more , but introduce to them Mr . Clancy , wbo , if he would pledge himself to have nothing . more to do with Chartism , he would f-el happy in receiving his shilling .

      ilr . Clancy—Don t yon wish you may get it ?—( laughter ) . Mr . Crawley said be would feel great pleasure in supporting the proposition of their woTthy Chairman , on tb& proposed condition , but he was determined to have nothing to do with the Chartists ; taeir objects were b » d ; they wanted to gat everything by force . He was in the glorious rebel army of ninety-eight—Mr . Cancy—Did yon carry a pike ? Mr . Crawley—No , 1 carried a guD . Mr . Clancy—And yet you would denounce a ChartUt if he carried a gnn ? Mr . Crawley—No , I olj ^ ct to them . because they haven ' t guns enough—( lao ^ fater ) . Mr . Clancy—And yet you call yourself a moral force man ? Mr , Crawl . y—Yea , I do ; but the times are different — ( laughter ) .

      The Secretary said he would have noVhing to do with Chartism ; it was evident Fear ^ us O Connor was in the pay of the Tories ; he was Editor of the Evening Star , and it soon showed its Tory colours . A Member eaid he did not think they ought to make ohjection to Mt . Clancy . He believed there were many Ciiartist K pralers . He was a CUartist himself oner . Another Member—And so so was 1 . Mr , Cluer is a Chartist and a Repeal warden . The CHAIRMAN—i . td bo was I a Chartist . Mr . Clanc ° made me a Chartist in Dublin , and made me pay my pence , but I thought * e waa orly joking till he had

      Mejot Sire , and the whole castle about our eaTB—( loud laughter * . I will never be a Chartist again —( continued lanzhtex . ) Hc-re a centleman who said ho was a Russian , but refused to state his uaiue , addressed the meeting at some length . ll < a ohjfctcd tn parties of different principle * comiD # together ; each party , bo said , should kerp by themselves . It was not likely that a Cnartist could be a goaa Repealer , or that a , Kepealer Could be a CkurtisL He ¦ wooid advise Mr . Clancy to atteni e \ £ kt or un meetings before he became a Repealer , that Ye might understand their principles . This was what he had d .-ne —( laughter . )

      Other members addressed the chair , both for and agam ? t Mr . Clancy"a admission ; after which 31 r . Ciancy , addressing the chair , said , Sir , I wish to know , before you come to any conclusion on this subject , if 1 might be permitted to make u statement of r » y views hereto ni ^ bt ? Tbe Chairman—By all means . I thiuk we shall be all happy to hear you . Mr . Clancy then expressed his thanks , and proceeded fur nearly three hours , of which the following is a mere mitlinn : ^

      Mr . Chairman and fellow-countrymen , I can assure you 1 feel hijtbly gratified at the opportunity afforded me to-night of inioglins with you in the glorious struggle for national redemption . Never in my varied life did I feel a prouder moment than tbe one whtch I now eDjoy in the company of those who have been taught that Repeal and Chartism ought not to go hand in hand . Ther « is net n throb of my bosom tbat does not beat high for the the happiness , tbe prosperity , and the independence of my native land—( cheers ) . There does not pas 9 a spare bonr of my life tbat my exertions < io not tend to that sacred objt-ct—( cheers ) ; and thrice happy shall 1 be to night if you can agree that I . shall , along side of yon , for tbe future , cost my mite of xertion into the scale of your political redemption . Thrice happy shall I be to right my country if I can convince you that this conrse which 1 have hitherto pursued wijl be a course worthy of your imitation , worthy of the cause we have at heart ; a course of policy alone worthy ef making Ireland again what she

      once was— " A great independent patriotic nation , A star to the oppressed in darting desolation . " ; That I am a Chartist , a sincere , devoted uncompromising Chartist , I am prond to p oclaim . Bat fur that I am not the less devoted to the glorious object which you have in view to night If Ireland was not my : country 1 would be a repealer , on tbe ground tbat the inhabitants of each country are , by nature ' s laws , made the sole trustees of the land of their birtb . I would spurn tbe brand of tbe Ostiuan Citricus , as 1 would the 1 impious mandates of a Saxon council ; but I muBt confesa I would not like to see in Ireland a parliament , unless tbat parliament . were based on tbe principle that

      the toiling million * of Ireland should be fairly and faithfully represented in it—( hear , hear ) I must confess 1 would not lite to see in Ireland such a parliament as tbe last we bad there ; for a baser set of political trfcfficers never disgraced any country . I must confess that I should iiko to have a guarantee for our national honour before it should be placed in tbe bonds of each marauders;—a political banditti , who , out of one hundred and , five members , one hundred and two received ribes . Thirty-two barons took places and bribes from Castltreagh ; several to the tune of £ 3000 a-year . and not one under ££ O 0- ! - ( hear , hear . ) One member was actually bribed io the lobby of tbe House . He was sure they would not like another House of Commons composed of such fellows as these . Bat they might ask how could it be remeiried . He ( Mr . C . ) would answer by basing it on tbe principles of tbe People ' s Charter . Let us . if we are to have a parliament , have a goud one . Tbe same amount of agitation tbat can

      procure a bad one ean also procure ns a good one , if we will only h&ve common sense to state pur terms . Let us then have a parliament based upon the principle i'f universal suffrage , that every man may haves voice in the choice of those who are to be the guardians of his birthright . Let us have Annual Parliaments that if they do not perform properly the woik we have allotted them , we ean send them about their business at tbe end of the year ; and elect ctders in their slead And let us have the Ballot to protect the voter in the exercise of his just prerogative—these appendages ulone would be sufficient to secure ns against tbe baso money cr machinations of a Sidmoulh , a Pitt , or a Ca * Uereagh—( hear , htar . ) A moral confederacy cf tua Chartists and Repealers could alone effect this . Yes , I aver that if Mr . O'Conntll only made common oause with the Chartists of this country , be could carry Repeal in three months . The Chairman—I believe that to be true .

      Mr Ciancy , continued—But why are . we divided 1 Why are we taught to bate each other ? Q 00 A policy noT sound wisdom could not dictate Buca a course ; one great fault of tbe leaders of repeal vras to attribute a ' . l the misfortunes 0 / Ireland to the people of England . An > i for this purpose an eternal war of prejudice wa 3 kept np . Here Mr . Clancy read extraets from the speeches of Mr . O Neal Daunt , and Mr . Taylor , the farmer gent ! cU )* n showing up the ignorance of tke poor factory tirls , and those who worfeed in pits , bat be forgot , said Air . C , to show the cause of that igr . o . ance

      or the authors of it . He bad been in the South and Wtst of Ireland , anil he knew there were men of the sani 9 Btariip , as those oppressive taskmasters th » te ; and if the Irish people were better taught upon religious matters , it was because they had nothing else to do and little else to live upon . The latter gentleman said the first act uf an Irish Parliament would be to over run the country with railroadt—( hearj hear )—in order to destroy Peter Parcel ' s coachos . He would ask the Chairman would he approve of that first act of an Irish Parliament ?

      Tbe Chairman . —Certainly not . I ' m an enemy to railroads . Mr . Clancy did not think that men who could wish to isjure his country for tbe purpose of destroying an individual , was a fit person to be in an Irish Parliament , and it was fur this that he wished tbe working classes to have the vote , to keep such men out of the House . H « had no great hopes from a house that would be mostly composed of lawyers and money-gamblers . Chairman . —That ' s because Mr . O'Connell is a lawyer .

      Mr . Clancy . —And so is Hi . O'Connor . I am not here , sir . to arraign Mr . O'Connell , nor am I here to be the panegyrist of Mr . O'Connor . If yon choose t » work under the banner 0 ! O'Connell , you bare a ptrfeck right to do so , bat that is no reason why he should stand by and hear Mr . O'Connor , calumniated . One gentleman bad said Mr . O'Connor was a Tory spy , because the Mptnimg Star became a Tory paper ; bat did they know the facts 1 Tbe Evening Star y * iiB in belng . bofore Mr . O'Connor had anything to do with it , and we have the Jworn evidence of the proprietor , iSr , Pray , at Liverpool , that white Mr . O'Connor was connected with it he had done tbe Editorial work gratuitously . Mr . Pray was an American , bnt , unlike Mr . O'Connor , he did not like to be doubly active in a losing game ; and so soon as he found that advocating Chartist principles was a losing game , he cuts O'Connor ' s connexion , and establishes tbe Stor on Tory principles to replenish bin coffers—( hear . ) and then , forsooth , O'Connor is a Tory spy . One gentleman in tbat room , who refused to give his name , for

      reasons beat known to himself , s ^ id ( Mr , C . ) should attend eight or ten meetings of the repealers : while another said , being a Chartist , he had no business in that xoom . Bat what did he le&rn since be came into the room ? Why , the fact that every man in the room was a Chartist—and that individually they did not deny it , while collectively they shrunk from its avowal because one man had told them not to do so . Chairman . —I admit the great principles of Chartism are very good , but I cannot bring myself into disgrace by admitting Mr . Clancy as a member . Besides it is against the rules to introduce Chartism at all . Will you ( addressing himself to Mr Clancy ) renounce Chartism and become a food and true repealer ? Mr . Ciancy . —I have ever been a repealer—I ever will

      bo a repealer . And whether I nm admitted into this body or not , tbe hallowed principles of Chartism , I shall ever cherish . For Chartism I have sacrificed my home , my friends , my all . The dungeon ' s gloom would not dull that bright spark in my bosom , and sooner than abandon my principles , the scaffold should be a welcome passport to that happy land , " where tyrants taint not nature ' s bliss ; " ( Cheers . ) I have been taunted with obtruding myself 0 . 1 this meeting ; but such id not the fact . I ant not in the habit of obtruding myself at meetings of this kind , but having received a card of invitation , and a copy of your rules from your Chairman , you would say I was not a good Irishman if I did not attend here . [ Mr . Clancy exhibited the card , and copy of the rules ]

      The Chairman said they had been sent to him by nistake . Mr . Clancy : If it were a mistake , the mistake was lot on my side , and was I not justed in taking advantage of it—( several voices—certainly )—but I hope we are not the less friends for that . He ohjrtcted to ; he line of policy pursued tbat uight hy the Chairman . He did not think it was the duty of the Chairman—[ with every respect for him)—to endeavour to prejudice tbe meeting against him , such a course was only worthy of an Abingcr . or a Jeffreys ; but as it appeared he could not be enrolled a member without the abandonment of his principles , which he held dearer than life . ha would not press tbe subject any mote , hia object bsing fully achieved . Ho woul-l not envy tbe party on

      whose heads the onus must fall Wherever he went ha would still be the friend of their cause ; but while he remembered that Ireland was bis country , be contd not forget that the world was hia republic , and tbat mackind &f evory description were his brothers . ( Cheers . ) He bart no envy for the feelings of the party who propi : i ; ated this fease exchis ' ve rioctrinn , wbi-n it should go abrotvi that Russians and foreigners might join this society , that a Catholic , an Irishman , one who had canvassed 350 electors for O'Connell ' s first return for Dublin , was excluded , because he believtid in tbe faitb of the People ' s Charter , which Mr . OConnell himself hud assisted in drawing np , and uconum-ntfed Lovett to to t ike nothing less . He would now hid them farewell , and thank them for the patient h . aring they ba . 1 given him . He never expected to see li eland happy or free until he saw a perfect union of the working classes of

      both countries . Let him but behold this glorious confederacy , then be would not care for the powers of Whig or Tory Governments ; then , and not till then .

      TO THOMAS SLINGSUY DUNBOMBE , ESQ ., M . P . The Address of cartain Inhabitants of the Metropolis , in public meeting assembled , at the Hall of the " City of London Political and Scientific Institute / ' on Monday , April lOtb , 1843 . Sir , —We , the inhabitants of the Metropolis , in public meeting assembled , highly estimating your character as a politician , and as a member of that body 'which professes to represent the Commons of England , hereby publicly express our approbation of your Parliamentary conduct , land thank you for tbe zeal and energy witb which , ? on every occasion , you have

      responded to the call of the people , and consistently advocated their claims . We also feel an especial degree of gratitude towards you for the line of conduct you pursued in reference to that political partizsn and time-serving Judge , &ord Abinger , and bis coadjutors in the work of oppression , the " great unpaid ; " and we trust that the ' monomania' attributed to you by a renegade of the first water , will continue to characterize you , and that you will never cease your exertions until justice ia fairly administered unto the whole people , —until all are equal in the eye of the law , and . all enjoy the benefit of a free and properly denned Constitution . 1

      Pursue , then , Sir . ithe noble course you have hitherto adopted , disreEarding alike the ridicule and the sarcasm of those who , wrapped up in tbe shallow mantle of selfishness , or enveloped in the mists of prejudice , have neither hearts te feel , nor intellects to appreciate the honour of being a jtrue representative of the people , and of meriting their confidence and approbation . Accept , Sir . a sincere assurance of our energetic cooperation , and let us trust tbat success may crown our united exertions . ! Signed by order , and on behalf of the meeting , ; Feargus O'Connor , Chairman . Mr . Skblton seconded the adoption of tbe resolution and tbe address in an eloqiunt aud philosophical speech , whertin he showed tbat absolute rule always engendered oppression , and tbat tbe only sure means of the masses regaining their independence was by obtaining possession of tbe land , to which he earnestly directed their attention .

      The Address was then unanimously adopted , amid loud acclamation . Mr . O'Connor , as Chairman , then presented the address to Mr . Duncombe , assuring him that he should offis bis signature to it with more pleasure than ever monarch affixed his signature to the death-warnant of a rival . When this address was nad to the Geese that hissed Mr . Duncombe ' s letter at Sadler's Wells , would they hisa thai ? The gentlemen of tbe aristocracy took great pride in thfcir picture galleries , and pointing . out the beauty of the gems to their guenis ; but he had no doubt that Mr . Diincomba would set a much hicHer

      value up ' . u tbat tettnionial of their approval , than upon any p ' . eture . Tfftiinonials of tbat description vr « re not to be easily procured in these days ; and , if be fennbd a true eatiin-ite vt Mr . Buncombe's character , the present one would be highly valued . Members of that body to which ! Mr . Duncombe belonged profes 3 ed to entertain b » t 1 . tele value for such marks of public approbation , but , in his bthtf they were not sincere . The grapes , he thpught , were sour ; tbe present was the trua manner and nwhud in which they could show their approval of Mr . Danc «> mbe's conduct , and give a triumphant an < l convincing answer to his revilers—( great cheering ) .

      Mr . DUNCOMUE , on rising , was received with tremendous cneennjf , aDd stated that before he alluded to the chief object of the modtin ? , be would reply to a question pot to him by h \ T . Benbow , whether he hadrt-ad the trial of Jones , of Leicester , before Biron Gurney . He had read tbe trial , the defence , and tho observations of the JuJge , with that disgust which every honest man most feel at seeing a fellow creature tried before such a partial , tyrannical , ; and parfzm Judge . With every word condemnatory of thut Judge , which had been uttered by Mr , Benbow , he fu ' iy concurred . He beard that a new trial w \ is to be uieved for , and if ever an individual deserved a new trial he was the man ; but if that should fail and Jones should present a petition to the House of Commons , b « should have no

      hesitation in expressing ot-fore tbe House the same upinUn of Baron Gurney'a conduct as he had then expressed , and as he bad previously done in reference to the Judges of Araize and those called Justices of tbe Pence . He had no doubt that many of them , when tbe address he had itbe honour to have received , expressing their approbation of his Parliamentary conduct , was being presented , wondered what feelings were prising in bis niina . His fed ings were those of as Rroat gratification as he ever entertained , but they were not feelings of unmixed gratification . He said to himself that if an humble individual as he was , for the small services which be bad rendered to the people , could call forth such a warm , loud , and enthusiastic expression of gratitude , what must bave been tbe

      eonduct of the great body of that House , when one individual was alone selected for the honour they had tbat evening paid him . It was impossible not te come to tbe conclusion that the House ot Commons was no ways identiue 1 wi ; h the liberties , rigbta . or privileges of the people . He was happy to perceive tbat the resolution returoeii their th&nkd to the members who supported him on those occasions . The seventy-four who voted for inquiry into the conduct of Lord Abinger , ' were equally entitled to their gratitude as himself—( no , 1 : 0 )—especially those thirty-three wLo voted , for enquiry into the conduct of the magistracy , becaust they were in that House surrounded by what the address appropriately in one sense of the wofd styled the " great unpaid . " Bnt although they might

      be called unond bucause they received no fixed stipend , yet tJiey took good care to be paid at the expence of the perple , iind never did tbi-y pay themselves better at your ixoence and the expence of your liberties than during tbe d : 3 turhancc ~ s last autumn . His motion in reference to Lord Abinger , was made in fulfilment of a pledge he had given" at one of tbe largest meetings ever held in the metropolis during late years . He then stated that if no one else did on the first day of the session be would give neticn of a motion on that subject ; that large meeting was held at the Crown and Anchor Tavern—it was no packed meeting—( cheers)—it was no ticket meeting—it was no Drury-lane or Sadler ' s Wells meeting—( renewed cneers )—it was a meeting for the whole metropolis , aud all the admirers

      of Abinger might have come and out-voted them if they could . He had then stated in strong terms his opinions of the partial , oppressive , and tyrannicoonduct of Abinger , and that it was a disgrace to the Bench , and nothing that had been said in palliation of his conduct —nothing that occurred out of the motion be made , bad , in the least , altered his opinion , or that of any honest man in tbe country . He still said that be was a disgrace t •¦ tbe Bench , ami that no man brought before him for a political offence had the slightest chance of a fair trial . There was no question so important as' tho impartial administration of justice—there was nothing tbat affected so deeply the life , property , and the liberty go dear to Englishmen j and if this was taken away , neither life , liberty , or property were any longer

      B&fe . it had been asserted ttat the debate would be a warning , and tbat no ether case would occur . This bad not been real-z ^ d . True , that Baron Gurney had bnly done to one individual what A binder had done to fifty ; but if Gurney bad bad fifty June ' s to have tried , be wouldbave treated them ail equally as cruel Mr . D . detailed the hardships ;' of Jones . He was deprived of animal food , was only allowed bread and water , and confined aloDg witb offenders convicted of tbe second description of miBdemeanor for the sole crime of euitrtaiuiug opinions , entertained perhaps by every man in tbat assembly , and neither prosperity , happiness or contentment would ever be attained until those opinions were reduced to practice , { and the working classes enabled to protect themselves by rue-us of tbe elective Franchise .

      The metion he had made in reference to tbe magistracy was met exactly as ) he expected it would be ; he well knew what an hornet ' s nest be should arouse ; Le was surrounded by the great unpaid ; turn bis eyes which way he would there ! waa a cobglern ^ rativn of quarter sessions —( laughter ) 4-but he had made up his m ' nti to beard tbe lion in bis den—( cheers . ) He still considered himself most fortunate in escaping such a trial without personal violence . The minister of police , Sir James Graham , had accused him of monomania , because he had presented petitions from thirteen or fourteen individuals who bad experienced a gross breach ef justice . They had been arrested aud imprisoned without any charge ; in some instances without a warrant , and in all cases their houses , papers , dec , ransacked without tho

      formality of a search ! warrant , and biil refused them . All tbat he bad asked for was to refer the evidence to a select committee , who should report to the House , and through the House to the country . He would ask whether a more rational or reasonable proposition could have been made ? whether it gave any evidence of bis being possessed by any species of a mania ? Waa it not , in fact , an insult to the people ? The insult to himself ha cared not for , for a minister of state when asked for a committee to whom they could refer the evidence , to say it was a proof that he was labouring uncier monomania , that was the only answer be ever received . He did not helieve they bad read tbe petitions of these men , but he trusted thuy would be circulated by tbat portion of the press which advocated the cause of the

      people . He trusted to see them printed in the Northern Star , and in that portion of tha presa edited by Mr . Cleave ( Chartist Circular . ) Mr . Duncombe then commented strongly upon the cases of White and Leach , and stated that if tried by Abinger or Gurney , he might , be believed , be convicted of Bsdition for the language he had then uttered . These men had been betrayed by the police and by hired spies , and in some cases retained in custody day after ] day without any charge against them , tbe police being busily engaged in endeavonring to get evidence , and failing , they were altimately liberated . Were not these cases ; which deserved the consideration of the House of Commons f And yet a Minister of State had the insolence for hi * doing tbis to accuse him , and

      through him the people of England , of Monomania He was proud to be a Moaomaniac in such aoeiety . He found an boat of Monomaniacs on bis late visit to Not * tingham . The people of Nottingham had done him the hooour to ask him his opinion of the merits of the rival candidates for their Borough . At first he declined to interfere , but ultimately he gave ate opinion in favour of Mr . Giskorne . He bad sat in tbe House for some time witb tbat gentleman , arid believed him to be a sincere friend of the working man . The people of Nottingham said if he was sincere be must go down and assist them . He went , and was welcomed by thirty or forty thousand of the honest , independent , men aud women of tbat town , which welcome completely justified him in going down . He had beard that a petition

      Untitled Article

      was to be got up to disfranchise tbe town . He only knew one ground on which it could be supported , and tbat was , that the electors would not be bribed to vota fox Mr . Walter . The Nottingham election was a sign cf tbe times . What was the question that there occupied tbe attention of the people ? He , it was well known , was an advocate of free trade : but if free trade , or the poor laws , or other evils were mentioned , they attracted no attention . The question of questions waa tbe franchise ; all else was kept in abeyance . It was the question of tbe franchise which returned Gisborne , and he felt satisflar ] tbat that gentleman would not disappoint the working men , but would advocate the attainment of their rights . He had now a persenal matter of a melancholy nature

      to acquaint them witb . He bad been hissed , dreadfully nissod , by the League at Sadler ' s Wells Theatre-r-( laughter ) . Mr . Duncombe then read from the Norning Chronicle a report of the League meeting at the above place , wherein it stated that a letter from him had been dreadfully hissed on Friday evening . Mr . Duncombe explained tbat the letter was an apology for bis non-attendance at the above meeting , to which he bad received an invitation . At this meeting a Lancashire magistrate ( Lawrence Heyworth ) was in the chair . He did not know what a Lancashire magistrate had to do with the Borough of Finsbury ; bat he thought that being a Lmcashire magistrate would more entitle him to be kicked out tban put into tbe chair . He bad inquired of some persons wbo bad been present

      regarding this hissing and storm of disapprobation , and he found it was confined to the stage , which was entirely occupied by the provincial agitators of the anti-Corn Law League . He was not at all surprised at their conduct . He had refused , and should continue to refuse , ( friend as he was to Free Trade ) , to attend any meeting that was not a free and open meeting ( tremendous applause ) . He bad been applied to by letter from persona sitting at the League ( ffice , 448 , Strand , three reek * back , regarding his support of the League . His answer bad been studiously suppressed ; hut he now felt that it was due to himself and to the electors of Finsbury to have that answer published . In it be had referred them to the speeches , votes , and motions which he bad made relative to Free Trade

      and informed them that if the slightest dissatisfaction existed among hia constituents , they had only to call a public meeting , and he would explain the principles on which he bad acted , and on which be intended to act . This meeting they bad never called . He informed a friend of his , who waa on the Committee from whom tbe letter emanated , to assure them that if they declined calling the meeting on the ground of expense that ha would erect an hustings on Is . ington Green and defray the whole expenses nimself . —( cheers . ) But he had heard nothing from them until that moraine ' s Chronicle repertedthe hisses and storm of disapprobation . After the demonstration be had that evening received , he should not feel much alarmed at tha storm of hisses from Sjdler ' a

      Well ' s , when they should call upon him to tumble with them in a public , not In a packed meeting . He should be very willing to join in the sport , bnt he should decline to attend any hole and corner ticketed affair . He / believed that a repeal of the Corn Laws would he beneficial to all classes , but it was perfectly futile to look for that measure from the present House of Commons ; before they could ever remove any other monopoly they must remove the monster monopoly of classlegislation . —( great cheers . ) It was a waste of time and money to seek for repeal until that was done ; and he adviaed them to keep their money in their pockets , a' : d not give it to the League , or rather to give it in support of the agitation for tbe Charter ; the League in the House of Commons were perfectly dumb foundered , were completely paraliz < d ; before the meeting of Parliament they assorted that the whole country was up in unni for » ReptrJ of the Corn Laws , but wfiathad they

      done during the Session ? Completely nothing . While Sir James Graham and Peel had got such a mass of aaricultural knees at their back , all their tffurts wonld be powerless ; and notil they removed these agricultural knees , by giving the people the franchise , it was utterly impossible they could attain their object . He thanked them for the patience with which they bad heard him he thanked them for the address he bad tb 6 honour to accept from the in ; he should pr : z 3 it as loag as life existed ; it would be a consolation to him for any difficulties he might fall into ; and would enable him to meet , unmoved , the taunts aid sneers of a majority of the House of Commons . As he had stated in his place in parliament , he should have tha consolation to ri fleet that however small the minority might be in that House , while fee remained honest and tiue to his colours , he should continue to receive the support of the great majority of the people . ( Great and enthu . aiastic cheering )

      Mr . Bolwell moved , and Mr Fabrer seconded in very excellent speeches , a vote of thanks to tug Chairman . Mr . O'Connor in reply , stated that Mr . Bolwell had made a slight error in saying that himself and Mr , Duncombe , regardless of their own happiness and comfort had exerted themselves on behalf of the people , He assured them he v ? as consulting his own happiness ia theceurse be was pursuing , and that bis happiness would never be complete until the whole people w < re in a state of prosperity . He differed from Mr . Duucombe regarding the propriety of a Lancashire magistrate taking the chair at a Fins nary meeting . Cows afar off bad long horns ; tbe unwashed knfliv tee dirty cows at home , and it is feetter to have one from afar . He had

      hunted the League from province to province . He bad challenged to meet them in any town in Eogland or Scotland ; last week he had challenged them at Drurylane , and offered to p \ y half tbe expends , and now knowing that the £ 50 , 000 was nearly gone , and thait money was an object , he challenged them to discussion at Drury-lane and would pay the whole expence of tbo meeting . The approbation they had tbat evening gives to Mr . Buncombe , would have more weight than tb » hissing of the geese . If a meeting was called at Islington , God fnrbid that Mr . D . should be at any expeuce , or pat to any trouble for arrangements ; every working mas in London would , on that occasion , think himself as inhabitant of Finsbury ; be ( Sir . O'Connor ) would then consider he was an inhabitant of Finsbury , and the working men , for twenty miles round , yea , from Yorkshire , Lancashire , and the whole country would , oa that day , be men of Fiusbury . Mr . Duncombe was not

      only an honour to England , bat also to Finsbury , and however a party clique might array themselves agaicrt him . he felt convinced that Finsbury , tbat had so lately acquired her own freedom , was as proud of Mrv Duncombe as was tbe rest of the country . It had bees said that Mr . Duncombe had no power in the House ; but power in the House must first be gathered from public opinion out of the House ; and when another epportonity came of testing the electors , wonderful IS the comet now was , being all tail , be bad no doubt that Mr . Duncombe would have as long a toil ; and that , is Bine cases out of ten , the pledge demanded by working men would be—will you support Mr . Duncombe in tbe House , Mr . Duncombe stood at tbe present moment ia a position as proud as that of any man in the kingdom ; they had that evening adopted the true course of rapporting those who advocated their cause . In conclusion he Would only say , that on srery occasion he sboold be happy to respond to their call ( Great cheerine . )

      Three cheers were then Riven for the Charter , three for Duncombe , tkree for O'Connor and tbe Star , and three groans for the tumblers at Sadle ^ s Wells , and tbe meeting dispersed . The Hall is just out of the bounds of Fitisbury , bni it might with justice have been called a meeting ef Wa ( Mr . D . ' s ) constituents .

O Connor having been elected to the chair and received with loud acclamation , commenced by stating that be had frequently b » en called upon to perform pleasing duties In reference to the public , but upon no occasion bad he ffelt more graVBeaUon than in introducing to them tbe business to be transacted during tho evenine ; , and he frlmuUl fail in performing bis duty as Chairman , if he did not pay the homage due to their respected frittnd Mr , Dunconiho . He bad eften impressed npon them the different manner in which the Wh'gs , Tories , and Chartists performed their work ; the Whigs na <\ Tories acted in union and concert ; by associating and uniting their energies , they became powerful , aud vret * thereby w&Med to retain the massus in slavery . Be was not surprised at tha reason

      why liberal gentlemen did no more for tbe Chartist cause , by so doing th « y would forfeit in some degree their social distinction and caste , and tbe majority of them were too thin-skinned to advance tbe happin ss cf mankind , at tbe expense of offending their own order . Men professing liberal principles bad hitherto flattered the people when they needed their assistance , but when their object was achieved , they treated thtru witb pity , scorn , and conierupt ; pity because tbey were so ignorant , scorn for being tbeir tools , and contempt for their weakness and poverty ; but now , after years of disappointment , tbey bad met witb a good and estimable member of tbe aristocracy . Tbe work tbat had been slovenly done by others hod ever been efficiently done , and / with much talent , by Mr . Duncombe—{ great

      cheering . ) He possessed all the qualities essential to a public man , and oue more essential tban the whole combined , aud that was humanity . Talk of talent , . energy , zeal . —these were aa nothing unless tbey were tbe superstructure built -on tbe bases of humanity ; that . quality Mr . Duncombe possessed above every other public man witb whom tie bad come in contact It bad been bis fortune on many occasions to present Mr .. D with a tale of woe , and be had never turned bis baefc upon it ; be bad never allowed any other business to interfere with his consideration of the poor man ' s case—( hear , bear ; . Intelligence was fast spreading among the people , and gaining a power over wealth . He wbs nut aware whether tbis : as owing to the five tons ot rubbish distributed by tbe League—daughter ) ,-—but if it w ; uj , they might aspend upon it they would uae it for their own purposes . He defied any man to say that he visited Mr . Duncombe and had a cold shoulder turned towards him ; he bad ever exerted

      himself for the good of mankind . He was enthusiastic in his hopes from the Return ) Bill ; but when he saw that it fell short of benefiiting the whole people , that moment did he abandon tbe practical reformers as they were styled , and told them be expected more . Mr . Duncombe bad equally opposed the unjust conduct of the Whig Magistracy when tbat faction was in power , as he bad recently done with the Tory . He wgs animated with the same hatred of tyranny then as now . Mr . O'C mnor then alluded to Butler ' s Emigration Scheme j the factions had m ide England so hot , that tbey wished to find some spot in tbe Atlantic , Australian , the Devil-may-care-land , to which they might transport thbtn . He fell as great a pleasure 111 presiding on that occasion &a Sir James Graham did in reading an occasional article from tbe Times . Tbe present meeting was a pveof that nil men were finding tbeir level hi society , and was a just tribute of respect to one who had btmefitted their cities .

      Mr . Armstrong Walton moved the following resolution : — " That tbis meeting has observed with feelings of regret and indignation the refusal of the Commons Houso of Parliament to grant an inquiry into the conduct ot Lord Abinger and certain provincial Magistrates , os evineed in the legal proceedings arising out of the late strike , which refusal still further demonstrates to this meeting that justica will never be fairly administered until the whole people are in possession of equal political rights . "

      Mr . Walton , in an excellent address , eluc'datert the spirit of the resolution , aud csntended that it woulri be equally as reasonable to expect a criminal to pronounce the sehtence of his own condemnation , as to have expected the House , of Commons to have granted an inquiry into acts in which , if they were not the chief agents , they ; it least largely participated . It was useless to expect any inquiry from such a body , either as to tbe conduct of Lord Abingev , or as to the cause which drovo the men duribg tha late strike to acts of desperation . The only way to purge tbe Judicial Bench , to cause the law to be equally administered to poor and rich—to master and to man , was to make the Judges responsible to the people , —and this , and every other political blessing would never be attained until political power-was vested in the banda of the whole people . Mr . Ma 7 NA » d briefly seconded the resolution .

      Mr . Benbow supported the resolution in a forcible address , in which be strongly commented upon the conduct of Baron Guruey in reference to bis treatment of Jones . The resolutie * was unanimously carrlH . A dog barking during tbe reading of it , Mr . O'Connor declared it to be Abinger ; but , on putting the resolution , declared that ha had not one friend in court , — which was greeted with great laughter and applause . Mr . ; COFFAt , ia ' an energetic address adapted to the occasion , moved the following resolution : — " That this meeting returns its sincere thanks to those Members of the House of Commons who voted for the previously-mentioned inquiry ; and hereby present to Thomas Duncombe , Esq ., M . P ., the following address expressive of their admiration of bis conduct . " Mr . Cuffay then read the following address , which was beautifully engrossed on parchment

      Five hundred copies of the address were sold in the meeting ; and also several beautifully printed in gold letters , on blue and violet paper .
